Khan to fight kotelnik

It's interesting people saying that Khan may have been weight-drained at 135, and the move to 140 will do his chin good.

May I remind you, his fight with Rachid Drilzane, who had no stoppage wins at the time and too date still only has 1, was at 140, and Drilzane had him on the canvas.

 

Yeah i been saying this for so long 135 for Khan is crazy, I think he will stay there at 140. He must of been having a problem making 135 for a 5'10 guy.

 

khan vs witter? anyone

didn't witter beat kotelnik for the euro title

 

What a load of ****, Khan has a **** chin regardless of weight class.

 

Im not suggesting it will turn him into Jake LaMotta but he cant be helping himself by stripping down to LW considering how big he is

He and I are the same height and I'm an in shape 12.5 stone , obviusly thats not the same as fighting weight and I do lift weights etc , but still.

I dont remember Drilzane dropping him ??

 

Just about. That fight could have gone either way IMO.

 

1.07...Yeah, really had him on the canvas atsch

Just another myth that has grown over time

 

stop telling fibs, that was not a knockdown and khan has never fought at 140

 

He has fough at 140 and a KD was give but it was actually a slip or something.

 

if khan wins this then the potential for great match-ups (50-50) at 140 are endless with lightweights moving up its a stacked division and apart from hatton and pacquiao and JMM if he moves no stand outs who will dominate

khan, peterson and ortiz are the future at 140

 

I suppose he "slipped" against Willie Limond, a man with 8 KO's! And he had really slippy shoes right...he couldn't get to his feet by 10 seconds.

What about against Craig Watson in the ams. He had weight issues when he was as skinny as a rake...with headgear on?!

I still can't believe excuses are made for this awful chin.

 

I don't think it was a real fight at 140 though..... just a meaningless fight for which Khan was weighing 137 or something and a bauble was put on the line.

He has improved plenty under Freddie Roach but all someone has to do is land something on his chin and it's all over. Someone that can walk through his pitty pat shots will succeed also.

 

we may see campbell/khan after all, btw i think nate campbell destroys khan with those short 6 inch inside punches

 

That's the thing I always said about Khan. His shots are "pitty patty".

When do you see him put any bodyweight into a shot? He's worried about getting hit on the chin, so he just arm punches to keep at a distance. His power at world class is going to be less than Calzaghe's IMO.

 

I think Calzaghe had just enough to get the respect of his opponents..... Khan doesn't, even at the lowest level of boxing.

Even if you were vulnerable yourself you would just take the gamble, 'cos a clean shot on those whiskers at the fight is over.
